New Australian film Ladies in Black struck by Johnny English at the weekend box office
Australian comedy drama Ladies in Black made $1.865m on its first outing at the weekend box office, but failed to beat the third film in the Johnny English series.
Ladies in Black, which is based on the novel by Madeleine St John, follows the lives of a group of department store employees in the late 1950s. It stars Rachael Taylor, Julia Ormond and Angourie Rice.
The numbers quoted for the previous Johnny English movies match those listed at box office mojo, and they are in $US. They reflect a
massive difference in the exchange rate between 2003 and 2011 when those movies were released.
Their actual Australian box office in $Aust was $12.526 M (2003) and $12.697 M (2011).
Hi RussVB,
We’ve taken a closer look and you are correct. We have amended the story now to reflect the result in Australian dollars.
